Today is Thanksgiving, where we remember when the Vikings freed the Jews from the Nazi Camps but then gave the Jews giant turkey legs and the Jews died because they just weren’t ready for THAT MUCH TURKEY!!!
I’m back in Cherry Hill, NJ for Thanksgiving. I found my yearbook from 6th grade (1995), when I graduated from Johnson Elementary School. At the end of the book they have the results of some random surveys. I’m not a sucker for nostalgia, but these answers are pretty great. Here are the top 3 answers from both boys and girls:

Squanto was the Pilgrims’ lynda.com for growing corn and catching eel.
I can be really stupid sometimes. As a right-brained, disorganized, attention-span deficient person, I’m prone to some painfully embarrassing brain farts.
Socially and Professionally, I deal with this by being honest, self-deprecating, and irreverent. After all, we’re all human and we all make mistakes.
What I can’t stand are the idiots who take themselves too seriously, people who are also mistake-prone, but can’t own up to it or are in denial of their own ineptitude. These people are the REAL idiots, because they’re either insecure or lack self-awareness, and are always placing blame on other people.
These people can suck it.
AND THERE AIN’T NUTTIN WRONG WIT DAT.
